Director’s Legend - Chapter 363
From July 29 to 31, 2011, “Captain America” topped the North American Weekend Box Office Championship with $67.4 million. “Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part 2 received 10.2 million U.S. dollars, currently North America is 270 million U.S. dollars, and the world has reached 660 million U.S. dollars. It is about to surpass all previous series and become the best-selling part of the Twilight series.
From August 5th to 7th, 2011, “Captain America” won the North American box office championship with 39.7 million US dollars.
From August 19 to 21, 2011, the four-week record of “Captain America” was 160 million U.S. dollars in North America and 290 million U.S. dollars in the world. The box office was not as good as expected, but considering the special status of the U.S. team, it is already very good to get this result. . And “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2 was officially released globally, with US$290 million in North America and US$830 million in the world, making it the best-selling one in the series.
“The last one was able to sell for $830 million, and the entire Twilight series has reached a total box office of $3.3 billion. No one wants to say that such a movie ends. There are only four key novels, and we certainly hope that it can continue. Going down, I don’t know how to do it yet, maybe it would be a good idea to put Twilight on the TV series.” Mitchell Bruce said vigorously.
After chasing the dream and reorganizing, he has truly become a big boss at the BOSS level. He is currently the CEO of Summit Entertainment Group and the chairman of the board of directors. Of course, power is also very limited. Dreaming Holding holds absolute equity, and it takes minutes to change people.
August is about to pass, and the sequel to another hit movie, “The Expendables 2” is released.
At this time, there was a huge cheer on a studio in Los Angeles.
“The Women’s Federation is over!”
“Ooooooooo!”
The champagne spray represents Shao Shuaijun’s fourteenth, strictly speaking, the thirteenth film “Avengers” has been completed. It lasted for five months and more than 100 days and nights. With an investment of US$200 million and an additional US$40 million in production, it was finally edited into a master tape and handed over to D2, ILM and Weta Digital Wait for the company to continue post-production.
A few days ago, “The Night Watcher: Reflection” has been produced, and Shao Shuaijun can let go.
On August 28, 2011, the award ceremony of the 14th China Film Huabiao Awards was held at the Beijing Exhibition Hall. The Huabiao Award is held once every two years to commend outstanding films released in China within two years. As a government award, Shao Shuaijun was too embarrassed not to go, and the above was interesting enough, giving Shao Shuaijun face and lining. The “Old Boy” released the year before received three nominations for outstanding feature film, outstanding director, and outstanding film music. “Rise of the Apes” was also nominated for an excellent translation.
In the end, Shao Shuaijun won the Outstanding Feature Film (9 in total), Outstanding Director Award (Double Yellow Egg), Outstanding Film Music Award. The excellent translation film “Rise of the Apes” lost to “Avatar”. Said some nonsense as a testimony, and had dinner and bragged with several leaders, which ended the awards.
After receiving the award, “The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie” also entered the second half of the filming. The producer, Shao Shuaijun, finally took on the job he should do, and together with Li Yu, studied “The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie” 》All the problems encountered in 3D shooting. The difficulty in this part is mainly shooting sea shots and animal shots.
The filming locations were on the mainland and treasure islands, and Shao Shuaijun and his family moved back to China.
“The elevation and depression angles of this shooting can be used to make the angle of the fly’s eye, and then set the scene to be replaced with special effects, so that it can show the tranquility and tranquility of the sea.”
In the world’s largest fully automatic wave device sink, a group of crew members, surrounded by Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu, are discussing 3D photography for shooting water reflections. The lead actor Sura Sharma is in tight makeup, because the makeup is often blurred by the water because of the shooting in the water, and she has to constantly touch up her makeup.
“But to take a picture of a whale jumping out of the water, what method do you have to use to imitate the whale out of the water, so that we can create a 3D whale out of the water picture.” A special effects engineer from ILM said.
“We use the trajectory of the wooden piles to guide the water, can we?” Li Yu asked.
“The workload is very large. It takes time and effort to describe the detailed posture of the whale and the splash state of the water surface, and the effect may not be good.”
Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: “Well, let’s use props to make the state of the water, and then use fluorescence to blur the whale. What do you think. Director Li, what do you think is the impact of the painting on the whale? “
“This is a very good idea, once the picture will add a lot of beauty, that’s it!” Li Yu said in surprise.
“The Fantastic Drifting of the Junior School” is the highlight, and Shao Shuaijun has invested a lot of energy, almost soaking in the shooting scene. Discussed with Li Yu and the crew. Li Yu’s artistic achievements have brought Shao Shuaijun a lot of thinking, and his business thinking has also infected Li Yu. Together, we have new harvests every day.
And Li Yu and Shao Shuaijun, the two big directors of the world, also passed on their experience to the Chinese filmmakers around them. Over time, more and more directors came to visit the class. This is no longer a crew, but a laboratory. With teamwork, all of them participated in the shooting, and worked hard to make “The Fantasy Drift of the Junior School” more beautiful.
Supervised the post-production of “The Avengers” and supervised the filming of “The Fantasy Drift of the Boy Pie”, and the days are still busy. Time is hurried. September passed by. “Captain America” was sold for US$361 million worldwide. “The Expendables 2” also surpassed the first one, reaching a box office of US$300 million. Currently there are still box offices in Japan that have not been released. A conservative estimate 330 million dollars can’t escape.
Released on September 23, the Chinese director Wen Ziren’s “Call of Souls” reached the top of the week with US$40 million. The reputation is very good. As a small-cost horror film, I have to say that this is a perfect first. Show. Since Lionsgate has merged into Summit Entertainment, several horror movies released have not achieved such outstanding results.
On September 30, 2011, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu sneaked into the Santa Monica movie theater.
Today is the day when Shao Shuaijun’s real debut novel “The Night Watcher: Reflection” was released in North America.
As a remake of a failed product, the attention is not great.
Thanks to Shao Shuaijun’s current fame, there was no premiere or large-scale release of the film. It was only shown in 2,468 theaters in North America.
Today is also Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu, who went to the cinema to watch a movie together for the first time in more than a year. From the beginning of their pregnancy, things have been going on and there is no time for them to control. Now that all the burdens are relieved, Xiao Shao is also getting older, and he is relieved by his grandparents. The two people finally recovered the two-person world of the little couple.
“Are you a little nervous?” Li Xiuxiu asked while eating popcorn before the movie started.
Shao Shuaijun shook his head relaxedly: “Fortunately, I was already on the street anyway. This time I am a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I am delighted to be successful, and unsuccessful is just a trial and failure. I am still young. What’s wrong.” Shao Shuaijun has tried his best to pick this thorn. If it really fails, it can be regarded as a kind of growth. As he said, he is still young, and some have time to polish it.
Directing so many hit movies, even if there is a memory of cheating from a previous life, after all, he is directed by him, and a little self-confidence has been built up.
Look at “The Night Watcher: Reflection” again, it seems indifferent.
“Anyway, I think I can succeed. Come on, husband, open your mouth.” Li Xiuxiu said confidently, then grabbed a popcorn and put it in Shao Shuaijun’s mouth.
While flirting, the cinema gradually quieted down, and the official screenings began on the big screen.
After Summit Entertainment’s logo, the screen turned black, followed by drunken voices and the sound of punches and kicks.
“Isn’t this Thomas with his dead wife, haha, get drunk here. Huh, take a few seats and beat him!”
After the crackling, subtitles slowly appeared on the pitch-black screen.
“Starring, Jack Gyllenhill, Kelly Nest.”
“Producers, Shao Shuaijun, Mitchell Bruce, Louis Leonard.”
“…”
After the protagonist and producer’s subtitles appeared, the screen flashed and quickly lit up. Thomas, played by Jack Gyllenhill, was taken to prison. At the door, Thomas smiled sullenly: “I am a night watchman, you will always Can’t shut me down!”
The picture flickered and the subtitles reappeared.
“Director Shao Shuaijun, after four years, the man in the night, the reflection is back.”
Subsequently, the film plot officially began.
Thomas, played by Gyllenhill, was lying curled up on the ground covered in blood, and several gangsters were beating him. Thomas held his head in his hands, as if whimpering.
At this time, in the distance of the dark and quiet street, I remembered the sound of footsteps of leather shoes touching the ground.
The punks were still punching and kicking, but Thomas suddenly raised his head and saw a figure in a black trench coat, walked past, and then squatted down in front of him. His trench coat was high-collared and he wore a hat. Because of the light, only one gloomy eye was exposed.
A hoarse voice that seemed to come from **** said from the black-clothed population: “See a mirror in the corner? You can go over it. After going over it, others can no longer hurt you!”
The camera is zoomed out, and the gangsters are still punching and kicking, but they don’t seem to see the man in black. The man in black heard the sound of his leather shoes touching the ground again in Thomas’s confused and muddy eyes, gradually disappearing. Thomas was stunned. He didn’t know where to summon his strength and rushed towards the corner mirror.
The mirror that hadn’t been imagined shattered and shattered, and Thomas was like a ghost. He went over the mirror and disappeared into the eyes of the gangster.
“Damn it, Thomas, it’s all for him.” Several gangsters hiccuped, looking for hopelessness, and returned to the bar to drink.
The lens was dark, as if a person was opening his eyes and saw the vague iron fence.
There were some distant voices, as if someone was scolding: “What’s the matter, who told you to fight, please be honest with me and go back! You two, put this and this, and put me in confinement!”
My eyes opened suddenly…(To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
